Rules
The official rules for DVD Fest 2004 can be found here. The following is a summary:
- Film length is limited to five minutes, plus up to 30 seconds for credits.
- All films must be edited using iMovie.
- Any student may be listed as an official member of only one team.
Trivia
- The beloved Dean Govoni made appearances in "Carleton's All-Time Favorites," "Harry Hate," and "Schiller."
- Although "Strike of the Mongoose: The Mongoose Strikes Back" ended with "To be continued...", the planned sequel was delayed due to the workload of key team members in Winter Term 2005. However, since the director and most of the cast of the series is comprised of members of the class of '06, a sequel at DVD Fest 2006 is possible.
